Struggling a bit with this one too but think it could be a Melanostoma Scalare.

Is it correct?

Thank you,

Johan

I am struggling too, because the picture looks too obscure...
Would say this is M. mellinum though.

PS: In species names, only the genus name starts with a capital, the species name starts with a small letter. So: Melanostoma mellinum.
